Half-Life 2 Maps
Black Mesa Enrichment Center

A submission for Gravity gun focused mapping competition. It is a real test course of your HL2 gravity gun skills. I don't know how many people have managed to finish this but everytime I did playtesting sessions I had to ramp the difficulty down and people still say it is too hard after release. The lack of proper playtesters makes it hard to try to create and balance new ideas.
Outland Route

Made for a strider mapping competition on Planetphillip. I won the competition! Yai! (there was only one another entry and it didn't even run properly) The map is ok. Nothing special, my take on open enviroment design with multiple possible solutions for one problem: how to defeat the strider.
Imprudent Trek Above Streets

This map won a mapping competition on PlanetPhillip. It is a rock solid mimication of Valve's mapping in terms of gameplay and visual quality. I find the map boring because it doesn't bring anything new to the HL but it proved my point that people prefer safe traditional maps over experimental maps. It is still one of my best single player maps though.

Hunter focused map made for Planetphillip's mapping competition. Looks pretty and gameplay is fun.
Nova Sniping
Release: January 2010
Development time: 2 months

A puzzle map utilazing new ways of defeating snipers in HL2. Created for a mapping competition on PlanetPhillip. I personally like this map but it really shows my lack of understanding how to guide the player at the time.
Nova Prospect 3rd person horror map

This is a 3rd person map for HL2 created without any programming. It was a fun technical challenge. Unfortunalty an update in source engine broke this map and these two screenshots are all the is left from playable version.
